How Does the Community Spotlight Actually Work?

[wolverinebball2]

Thanks Keldur, I just have one more quick question: Does that mean that only one post per author can be spotlighted in an episode? So you have to choose the single best post from an author if they post multiple levels in the two week period?

Not at all. A creator can have 2, or even 3 levels spotlighted in a row. There's no limit to it; the levels just have to be good enough. Still, I'd reccomend you to wait a bit between posting a lvl and another, since that way it way get more attention in the showcase.

Very informative. Thanks for that. I always wanted to know how that works. How many levels are published in two weeks?

edit: i mean averagely

Between 90 and 100 on a very slow week and up to 170ish on a rollercoaster week.

Im just curious if your putting a level on for F4F to help work out the kinks of your level, does that go into play for the spotlight level??? If so, is there a way to get the F4F with OUT it being put in for the community spotlight. Im just asking, because I feel there have been substantial improvements to my own level and would like to have a whack at it when I feel its ready and not passed up in the future because 'it was already played two weeks ago'.

Sorry if this has already been answered, I didnt seem to find it.

THANKS!!

No, whether you've put your level in for F4F or not has no bearing on whether it is spotlighted or not.

I feel there have been substantial improvements to my own level and would like to have a whack at it when I feel its ready and not passed up in the future because 'it was already played two weeks ago'.

Unfortunately, due to the number of levels we have to look at each week, we don't have the time (or the means) to go back to previous weeks and trawl over the levels again to see if there have been any improvements that make them spotlight-worthy. This is why we emphasise in the OP to make your level as good as you can make it when you first publish it.

Okay, so if I am done utilizing F4F, do I repost a new thread in the Level Showcase 'without' the F4F, as to let everyone know that its complete??? Sorry for any misunderstanding, im just trying to understand. Thanks for your response!

Nope - just click the opening post for editing, then select Go Advanced, and I think you can take the F4F option out. If not, just post in the Opening Post that you are no longer participating in F4F on that particular level.

Thanks, fixed.

Wow... You play every level in the showcase? Nice! I guess it doesn't count when they are posted as F4F though.

I have many new ideas now that i've returned from holiday, i might be able to get my levels (or maybe myself as a creator!) spotlighted one day.
